Today a few friends and I all went visiting at our friend Nikki's house. We met her new little guy - one of the cutest babies around - Freddie! We all chatted, caught up, and ate ourselves silly. We all brought and item for brunch and this was my contribution. It's become a great standby. I have made it a couple of times, even for the Easter brunch we hosted last year. It's very yummy but not healthy (yup, you guessed it, it's another Paula Deen recipe!)

In a large bowl, combine the eggs, half-and-half, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and beat with a rotary beater or whisk until blended but not too bubbly. Pour mixture over the bread slices, making sure all are covered evenly with the milk-egg mixture. Spoon some of the mixture in between the slices. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.

The next day, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Spread Praline Topping evenly over the bread and bake for 40 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden. Serve with maple syrup.

About Me

About this blog

I always knew I liked to cook and bake since I always liked to dabble a bit in trying out new things in the kitchen. When I moved out of my parents' house and got married in '06, my interest in cooking and baking really took off. I love to prepare great meals and desserts and everything in between for my husband, family, and friends. I am no gourmet chef but after reading a lot of other great foodie blogs out there, I figured, why can't I have my own?? I frequently joke that what I've cooked or baked was "Made with love," hence the blog title.
